Mentorship

The UCF Military-Connected and Veteran Alumni Mentorship Program connects veteran and military-connected students with UCF alumni who understand the unique experiences, strengths and challenges that come with military service. Rooted in the spirit of Knights helping Knights and the military tradition of service, leadership and camaraderie, the program provides students with one-on-one guidance from alumni who can help them navigate career exploration, professional development, networking and life beyond UCF.

Through meaningful student-to-alumni connections, mentors share their experiences, industry insights and professional networks while helping students translate their military and academic experiences into their next mission. Whether preparing for a civilian career, pursuing graduate education or continuing a path of service, students gain a trusted member of the UCF Knight family in their corner.

Once a Knight. Always a Knight. Always ready to serve.
